In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Yes. I think its lunacy to suggest he was told not to play good passes before. Copium at its finest
Far more likely he's been asked by the new manager to be more positive and showed today he can do it. One of the things that people have wanted from him since he came
There were times in his first season I genuinely wondered if he was actually a footballer! The transformation is exceptional
He was brilliant today
Played with intensity, energy and drive but also real quality
Fantastic goal to get us the points. really pleased for him

Perhaps Fred's biggest problem is that he is actually right footed
Should have got man of the match Vs Chelsea as well. Great player and a great man
I thought he couldn’t pass or shoot? Weak foot, top bin!
He was brilliant, both on and off the ball. He was everywhere, this more attacking role suits him much better than playing him as defensive mid.
Last 4 games he played very important role in almost all goals.

I swear this place is like Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to Fred.

It probably mirrors how Jekyll and Hyde he is as a player
He was fantastic today.
Every single midfielder makes mistakes in every game. How do you not understand that? Do you watch other teams play?
Fred is the form central midfielder in the PL and our fans should be delighted to have him but instead of being happy for him and giving credit they keep doubling down and belittling the good things he clearly does. Goals and assists on top of already being our hardest working player.
Good lord it was a joke!
i thought he’s been super since carrick tweaked his position. Growing in confidence
Pressing monster, still have the usual silly stupid passes but he's having excellent run of games.
Should really play higher up the pitch to minimize his risky passes maximize his strength

so happy for him.
he might not be the most talented in the world but my god he runs his ass off every game and never hides.
Beautiful finish with his weak* foot

Another good game from him, first name on team sheet in those midfield positions, once we get a quality CDM, I see Bruno, Fred and VDB being rotated as 8’s.
Great game, usual energy and a top bin goal.
3rd consecutive excellent game. Thats the fred of 2020.
Form wise he is one of the highest at the moment...lets see what Ralf can do with him, but he shouldn't be bashed my the media or any pundits on current form..
Box to box erratic monster.
He impacts the game were others who might be more aesthetically pleasing just don't.

Looking like a bargain!
it was just the first post I saw when I opened the thread
He didnt chip it. If he had tried that the previous time he would have scored too
Objectively excellent stats. No doubt the usual twats in this thread will find a way to pretend it wasn’t an objectively excellent performance.
Fred is the perfect example of never writing players off.
So under his usual pass% but very noticably quicker in his transitioning the ball from getting it to trying to deliver it to our attacking players. Often one touch and then play the pass, very good
I didn’t give Fred my MOTM vote today, but he was magnificent. Fred the Magnificent.
Won the ball 23 times in 4 games since Solskjaer was sacked. Insane rate of 5.75 tackles and interceptions per game.
I think he has been our best player on average since Solskjaer has gone.

How can someone not love Fred. This is how we should have been using him the whole time. Front foot Fred is on fire. Genuinely I find him quite entertaining to watch as there are so many ups and downs in his game that it’s like watching an episode of Coronation Street.
He’s been playing fast ball into our attackers/playing DM and going box to box for the last two years. So happy he’s not stuck back trying to dictate. We’ve wasted two years of his career but he keeps smiling and doing his thing. He’s class
Nah he's always been like that (sometimes for United, usually for Brazil) when we played energetic brave football (read: he wasn't told to "sit back"). The team setup was different today, which suited him as he had more passing options.
Expected. Rangnick favourite player. Pressing machine Fred. Deserves the goal after good performance.
Forget the goal….that was a great performance. Perhaps he could really grow into a top player under RR
Disingenuous posterHe would be the MOTM even without the goal, but what you know about football. Do you know that midfielders misplace passes? I never seen one having 100% passing accuracy. Except we all know what Fred's role in the team is. Winning the ball to prevent the goals and to quickly set up the chances and he's been immense again but of course one misplaced pass and some armchair fans are all over the palce here
I wonder how much you lot post "the typical mistakes" in the Bruno thread.
Majestic performance. Absolutely majestic.
Crowned it with a beautifully taken goal.

He wasted his energy so far away from the final third. He'd be in Park's position under Fergie.
Man of the match performance, and that goes even without that great winning goal. Credit where it’s due and let’s hope he keeps up with this kind of performances, we need that.
He's a menace, the engine of the team, excellent performance today.
